The Statesman – International patients’ lounge unveiled

Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and Research Centre (RGCIRC) inaugurated a dedicated lounge for a large number of patients from abroad that it receives every year in the national capital. “The International Patients’ lounge has been designed to work on a single window concept so as to facilitate the entire journey from admission to discharge, saving patients and their attendants unnecessary hassle while they are fighting a disease like cancer. Typically 7 to10 percent of our patients are from abroad at any point of time, majority from neighbouring countries including Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan”, said CEO of RGCIRC D S Negi.
